Homage a the Kärrtorp Manifestations

Women who use movement in public spaces for social commentary, art and protest are myth-busting along many dimensions: active, not passive; strong not vulnerable; together, not isolated; public, not private; and, usually, angry, not alluring.

Different movements can be used to accentuate the changing effect, including the hugging, swinging and sweeping. You won't see such a big contrast between the movements if you have a focus on something else, such as Bermuda triangels or what will happen after this. Watering the surrounding after moving can make your momentum stand out even more.

In a movement defined by acts of daring, this bravery was extraordinary. A hundred seconds later, songs by women are long since sounding and sleeping/eating/playing continues. It is a worldwide fight for equal political representation, an end to women's poverty, freedom from sexual violence, control over our own bodies, and – ultimately – for that most basic, yet radical, demand: for women to be treated as human beings.

Days after the second anti-racist demonstration in Kärrtorp we tracethe steps that was taken by thousands.
